Monday Media Blog-Sick Days

Welcome to the Monday Media Blog on Chief 187™Chatter.

Sickness has had its grip on Casa 187 for well over a week and, all told, since the Christmas holidays in one way or another. From colds to stomach viruses it has been, well, a typical winter with children!

As a parent I feel that if a child is sick enough to stay home from school then he or she needs to be in bed. But, once school hours are over and the child is on the mend I do allow some television to be watched.

I remember being a child and waiting for permission to turn on the TV. In my room I had a

child’s turntable and a couple of albums that were fairy tales or children’s music. I listened to that when I wasn’t sleeping or reading until I was permitted to watch television.

Once given the green light I enjoyed The Price is Right, soap opera Days of Our Lives, and re-runs of The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

Today’s focus on the Monday Media Blog is the media you would watch, play, and or listen to when you were/are home sick and were/are well enough to be entertained.

Did you/do you watch television game shows, re-runs, talk shows, soap operas, or C-SPAN? Were you/are you engrossed in an all-day video game marathon? Did you/do you simply listen to music?

Wishing you all a healthy rest of winter and time with your favorite media every day of the week!

Please join me tomorrow for the most popular post on Chief 187™Chatter, Simple Joys.

Well for me, i've had a couple of colds and twice the case of intestinal swelling last time when i was ill. At times like these, i prefer spending my time praying to God for healing & relief. Last time was thecfirst time when i asked a few friends on FB for a sick-day movie recommendation, and my 2 friends suggest movies.

i Thank God for the sick days too because they prove to be a time for aelf-reflection and understanding about Life's meaning & purpose and how our health is one of the greatest blessings God has provided us with : ).

Hope you are well now and wishing you & all your loved ones a wonderful new week ahead : ).

I honestly don't remember. I didn't get sick that often. But when I did it was usually a doozy. I'm sure I watched TV when I wasn't sleeping. It was probably whatever my mom had on the TV because I was too sick to care. If I was in my room, I most likely had my clock radio going.

When I had foot surgery, I did homework brought to me by a friend or boyfriend. Listened to the radio and various tapes for most of the day. If I watched TV I waited until General Hospital was on. ;)

Nowadays, if I am sick (which is rare), I'll have "mindless" TV on which mainly consists of game shows (thank you GSN). I enjoy listening to music when I'm sick too. Anything that doesn't require a lot of thought...so a one hour drama is definitely out.

About Me

I am the Crew Chief of my family with myriad interests and a sincere desire to expand my friend base. I started as a prolific blogger on the NASCAR fan racing site Rowdy.com. In 2012 I created my own Motorsports radio show and website entitled Drafting the Circuits. As head writer, editor, social media specialist, PR, guest-securer, host, and on-air personality, I took the show to a position in Motorsports that netted my site access as media to major NASCAR Sprint Cup, Xfinity, and NCWTS events, ARCA races, the Indianapolis 500 and other IndyCar events, and the US Grand Prix at COTA in Formula 1! Currently I am writing a book that has nothing to do with Motorsports in my efforts to continuously evolve.
